Zach Sent on 20/04/2026Amazing staff that made our wedding effortless
I got married at Newlands just last weekend and I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to the entire team there for making our experience of getting married so effortless and stress free. From our amazing coordinator, Jessalyn, to our incredibly talented decorator, Lisa, the Newlands team really made every part of the process easy for us.
I wasn't even in the country when we picked Newlands as our venue and seeing how they were so accommodating and willing to explain the logistics, the timeline, and the transparency in costs, honestly made it a clear winner for us. We really loved the flexibility in how much we got to be involved in the creative process. On top of getting a full meeting with the decor team, each step of the way was met with a professional who was ready to take on any part of our wedding with excitement and care.
We couldn't be more grateful as well to Linda and the DJ team (Anesh & Hussein) who had our guests constantly rushing to the dance floor and adding things on the fly that resulted in everyone line dancing at one point.
To our amazing photographers, Michelle and Larissa, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Both me and my partner are pretty awkward people, but they made us feel so at ease the whole time and made the whole process of capturing everything we wanted so easy. It's still too soon so we haven't seen the finals, but we can't wait to sit down with them and see everything that was captured.
Something nice we weren't expecting was a handover of the day coordinator to the room captain. Our room captain, Heera, was fantastic. The handover between the day team and the evening was flawless and Heera made sure we had plenty to eat and drink between all the festivities. We didn't catch the names of the rest of the staff that were there that night, but all our guests were so impressed with how kind and attentive everyone was, so thank you so much to the evening crew for making their night as well!
Something we were a little concerned about was food. We knew that a buffet could be pretty good, but nothing prepared us for the amount of guests we had going back for seconds, thirds, and then telling us days later that it had been the best wedding food they'd ever had. So a huge shoutout to the entire culinary team at Newlands! We highly recommend upgrading to the prime rib as that was definitely something everyone loved, and we even got a lot of people saying how much they enjoyed all the vegetarian options as well. If you have guests that are vegan or have any dietary restrictions, Newlands were more than helpful in ensuring that those individuals got their own plates and that all the food was carefully labelled and/or food was separated onto different tables to avoid as much cross contamination as possible which was amazing.
While we have no control over the weather, I really appreciated how much Jessalyn reassured me that whatever happens, there is a rain plan and it's quick to organize (even though we know it won't be needed because it will hold out!). I think knowing that there was always a back up and a chance to still make things special for us, was just a bonus in having a wedding that was affordable, and memorable.
We really appreciated that 2 times a year leading up to the wedding, they also hold a huge showcase and tasting so you get a chance to try the food, find vendors that they've worked with before, and you get a chance to chat with all of them which is honestly so helpful especially with how busy and stressful it can be planning.
If you're looking for a chance to having a beautiful wedding that encompasses the benefit of being able to work within a budget if you have one, having a team that truly cares about your day, and having an amazing experience seeing effortless planning come together, my partner and I couldn't recommend Newlands more.
Thank you so much to everyone there for making the day so special!Newlands Golf & Country Club's reply:

My 2 words for describing working with Newlands is " Dream Team"
As a bride who just married at Newlands last week, choosing Newlands was one of my best decisions I made. The staff is also what truly makes or break planning and delivering a wedding like a breeze. Everyone from my coordinator to my photographers, to food and design team knew exactly what they were doing and executed flawlessly. What I love about Newlands is they offer great all inclusive packages. Whether you are having a big or small wedding, they have you covered. There's no hidden fees, Newlands is very straight forward which I really appreciate! -

We had such a wonderful experience at Newlands Golf and Country Club for our wedding! The venue is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and a well-maintained setting that made our day feel extra special. The staff were professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the process, ensuring everything ran smoothly. It was the perfect place to celebrate, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
Caylea was an amazing wedding coordinator who made our special day completely stress-free. She was organized, responsive, and paid attention to every little detail, ensuring everything went exactly as planned. Her calm and friendly approach made working with her such a pleasure. We’re so grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding!
Sherri was an incredible wedding photographer and truly captured the magic of our special day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and her attention to detail was amazing. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful—natural, emotional, and perfectly timed. We’re so grateful for her talent and professionalism, and we’ll cherish these memories forever!
Lastly, I would like to thank Lisa. She did an amazing job as our wedding decorator and truly brought our vision to life. Every detail was beautifully executed, and the space looked absolutely stunning. She was creative, professional, and so easy to work with throughout the process. We received so many compliments from our guests—everything felt elegant and perfectly put together!

Aviral Sent on 05/04/2026Wedding Package for Indian Wedding
The venue itself is beautiful and captures a lot of natural light and their coordinators, Working with Newlands coordinators, Jessalyn and Charlene, made our wedding planning and logistics super streamlined - it is truly an all-inclusive package!
Their in-house decorator, Lisa, developed a detailed decor plan and even helped source and build a custom bridal canopy (phoolon ki chadar) for us. Additionally, the chef did a wonderful job with the food, even adding custom options like idli and chutney to cater to our South Indian guests.
The wedding day was executed smoothly and on time and all our guests gave wonderful feedback. Overall, I would highly recommend Newlands to anyone looking for a smooth and beautiful wedding experience.Newlands Golf & Country Club's reply:

Teresa Sent on 03/03/2026Amazing experience!! I couldn't have asked for anything else!
My experience with Newlands was absolutely amazing. From start to finish, my timeline was 3 months and I had a 9 month old baby. They made the entire experience so seamless which was exactly what I was looking for as I did not want to deal with the headache of planning all the small details with so many vendors while being a mama to an infant. My wedding day was absolutely fantastic and honestly wish that I could relive that day all over again. The venue itself was beautiful and my vision was executed exactly as I wanted. My wedding was just perfect. I highly recommend if you are looking for a stress free wedding plan and execution.Newlands Golf & Country Club's reply:
Hi Teresa,

Hearing that your ballroom was exactly as you envisioned and perfect is exactly what we strive for here at Newlands. Thank you so much for choosing Newlands to spend your most special day with us!
Congratulations to you both and we wish you so much love and happiness in your future together!

Ben Sent on 14/11/2025Beyond amazing
To any couple who is looking for a venue, do NOT be fooled by the dated carpeting/floors. This venue was a dream! My husband and I got married in the conservatory room in October, and it was so magical!
The planning process was a breeze! We had Jessalyn as a coordinator, and she gets things DONE! In a very professional manner, but she is amazing at her job. She knows what she's doing, and we both really appreciated her responsiveness (always on top of her emails), her opinions, and her non-pushy demeanor. Planning and telling her our vision was truly about us, and what we wanted, and not about profit/upselling. TRULY an amazing Wedding Day of Coordinator. I wasn't a super picky bride, but when it comes to music I was extremely picky with the timing of when people walk to match the music, and Jessalyn and the DJ did an amazing job making everything perfect! My husband and I also made 2 gigantic seating chart signs (7ft tall, 2 ft wide), with giant wooden stands (to hold the sign up), and Jessalyn set them up for us during our ceremony, again she was amazing! If you're an organized bride, you'll make Jessalyn's job a lot easier to execute.
We organized our decorations into separate boxes, labelled the boxes, had a checklist of our DIY inventory, we also took pictures of how we wanted things set up (we set it up on our dining table, took a picture and put it in the box). We also highlighted which box goes on which table according to their floorplan to make set up a breeze for the team.
We were able to plan our wedding in 5 meetings! Yes you read that right, when Newlands said it, they definitely delivered on that. I believe the order went something like this:
1. Jessalyn
2. Photography
We got to talk about our vision, what kind of photo styles we liked, and we also picked our photographer (out of their list of photographers) this day as well.
They talk about potential add-ons if you wanted to add anything, and they mentioned what was included in their photography package.
3. Decorator/Florist
Lisa was PERFECTION. She knew her flowers, she understood our vision, and she made it work within our budget! My husband wanted a few add-ons, but we were very careful with our budget. Lisa was amazing and showed us a couple of different options to make our dreams come true. She had really great ideas!
We came prepared (the homework that was assigned to us) with a picture of our ideal flower colour scheme. She told us what flowers would be in season, and she made my bridal bouquet SO BEAUTIFULLY (and given, I'm not a flower person, but the colours were exactly what I had shown her).
4. Jessalyn (final review of food/plans)
We reviewed all our food decisions with Jessalyn, and we finalized our cake design, time line for the wedding, and our guest count
5. DJ/Music
We had some homework to pick out songs for the ceremony, and if we had any "must play" songs for the dancing portion of the evening.
----
We were also lucky to attend BOTH of the newlands tasting nights (we booked this venue over a year before we got married, so we were able to go to their fall tasting night, and their spring tasting night). It was such a fun event, and if you are able to you definitely SHOULD go! You get to see vendors that newlands works with (we saw a caricature, we saw many photobooths, videographer, etc.). It was just superb.
On our actual wedding day, we had someone who brought us all our food and drinks! Hira! Hira was the best!! I never met any of the other servers, but for us, Hira just read our minds! When we went outside to take some photos, we came back with 3 dinner plates of food PER PERSON! Wow!! We got to sit down and enjoy our meal!! Then we quickly went to take photos with each table, and I was thinking in the back of my mind that I really craved for dessert...when I came back? 3 PLATES OF DESSERTS EACH! Hira just read our minds and we absolutely loved his attentiveness, and his willingness to serve us that night!
We checked out a few other venues when we were wedding planning, but honestly, nothing could beat the price and what came with it. It was the easiest, stress-free wedding planning experience I had!!
We really hope you guys give Newlands a look and fall in love with the space and the team just like my husband and I did! Good luck to everyone and their planning process!!Newlands Golf & Country Club's reply:

Sharmila Sent on 10/11/2025Miller & Svorinic Wedding, highly recommends Newlands!!
What an incredible evening!
Could not be more grateful to have the Newlands behind us and our big day! We cannot thank them enough for letting us essentially be guests on our wedding day and be able to focus entirely on having an extremely great time.
Charlene was incredibly communicative and timely for any and all questions or inquiries we might have had.
Our day-of coordinator, Paul, was super attentive and the day-of team never let us go hungry or thirsty, or without a check in when we had a question!
The DJ was FANTASTIC!! Kept the momentum going and blended the two sides so well!
Our photographer team and videographer (Michele, Ashley, and Ian) were SO great! Keeping the pacing up to ensure we got everything we needed, while being super flexible with which moments happened where. I am so looking forward to seeing the photos and video!
And boy did the ballroom ever look SPECTACULAR!!! It was all I could do by the end of the night to stand and soak it all in.
Everyone knocked it out of the park!!
We cannot recommend Newlands more!!Newlands Golf & Country Club's reply:
Hello Sharmila & Kris,
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible review!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your wedding day was everything you hoped for and more. It was truly our pleasure to host you and ensure you could simply enjoy every moment.
We will be sure to pass all your kind words along to each department - they will be delighted to hear your kind words.
And hearing how much the ballroom took your breath away at the end of the night is truly the cherry on top for us. Creating that magical atmosphere is what we strive for.
Thank you again for your generous praise and for recommending Newlands so highly. It was an honour to be part of such a special day.
Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness! 💕

Emily Sent on 31/10/2025The most magical and stress free day!
Having our wedding at Newlands was truly the best decision we made. From the very first message from our amazing wedding coordinator, Jessalyn, to the moments before walking down the aisle, everything was perfectly organized and seamless.
People often asked me in the months and days leading up to the wedding how stressed I was, and I could honestly say I wasn’t stressed at all. Newlands took all the stress away. Because everything is done in-house, all my husband and I had to do was make choices from the many wonderful options they provided.
The décor and florals were absolutely stunning. Lisa from the design studio brought my vision to life with such care and attention to detail. My bouquet and the centerpieces were beyond gorgeous.
Our DJ service coordinator, Linda, made planning the music fun and effortless. We selected our main songs for the ceremony and reception and created a playlist for dancing. The DJ completely nailed it and knew exactly how to keep the energy high and the dance floor full all night.
The food was delicious, with so many options that our guests loved. The late-night pizza snack was a huge hit and gave everyone a second wind to keep dancing.
A special thank you to Jessalyn, who was absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire planning process. She was prompt, organized, and reassuring every step of the way. We truly couldn’t have done it without her.
Budget-wise, Newlands is incredibly transparent and reasonable. Because they handle everything in-house, they make it easy to stay within your budget. They only show you options that fit your range, and there are no hidden fees. Everything was clearly laid out on the invoices, which made the entire process stress-free.
Overall, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Every guest had an amazing time, and we will cherish this day forever. Thank you, Newlands, for making our special day absolutely perfect.Newlands Golf & Country Club's reply:

We wish you both so much love and happiness in your future together! -

The Most Magical Day
Newlands coordinates and organizes it all. They are quick to respond and have a comprehensive team that will quickly and easily design your dream wedding. The venue with the conservatory was a must-have, and as the sun set the twinkle lights make it even more magical.
If you have a chance to work with Sherri the head of photography, she knows the best spots (like Campbell Valley) for pics and is great at giving directions.
We asked for a special late-night snack of mac and cheese that wasn't on their menu and they happily obliged- we hope they make it a full-time addition!
The DJ knew exactly what to play and there was never a lull in the dance floor.
Lisa, the head of decor, organized a unique centrepiece for us and ordered the most amazing florals.
Our coordinator and host checked in often and had everything running smoothly.
I still get comments on how amazing the food was and how amazing the venue looked! -
